To tell you that Matt and Mollie longer host their own show on Thursdays on BBC Radio 1 - GK Barry now does a PRE RECORDED show instead?!

As I was born in 1979 I'm on the cusp of Gen X/early Millennial but I can't stand 80s music, it was before my time really and it sounds naff to me. I love 90s and 00s music as that represents my teens and my 20s, where's the station for that??
As radio 2 was playing plenty of 80s music 10 years ago (and probably also 20 years ago), surely it should be playing a lot of 90s/00s music by now? And if not, which station are the bbc expecting people my age to go to when they are "too old" for radio 1? It's a mystery.

They do play a fair bit of 90's on Radio 2 I'd say, plus some 70's and 00's and there are 90's focussed programmes. Trevor Nelson plays some good stuff mid afternoon. I guess when you're between generations there isn't anywhere specific, except maybe a Spotify playlist! I hate a lot of 80's music I prefer the 60's, 70's and 90's which is my parents music and my music.

Radio 2 get so much wrong all the time. Constant turn over of presenters, far too 'high octane' presenters, and I dislike how they get so obsessed over events like their radio 2 in the park - most people weren't there and so many artists do not sound very good live, dancing around on a stage in a field, it's only good if you are remembering being there.

Anyway, I must stop moaning! :)
